The Difference Between True Sinewave Inverter and Modified Sinewave Inverter

A sine wave inverter is an electronic device that can receive direct current (DC) and can produce alternative current (AC). Generally a sinewave inverter use 12 Volt battery power as DC and produce 240 Volt domestic useable electricity also know as alternative current (AC).AMPTRONIX Sine wave inverter is classified in two main categories and they are.

• Continuous Output Power 1500W; Surge Power 3000W
• Output Voltage 115V+/-3% / 240V+/-3%
• Harmonic Distortion
• No Load Current Draw 0.8A
• Low Battery Alarm 21.4V; Low battery Shut Down 20V

A true sinewave inverter also known as a pure sinewave inverter uses 12 volt battery power as direct current and can produce 240 volt pure alternative current. The produced electricity from a true sinewave inverter is very much clean and pure and this pure current can play sensitive electronic equipment such as Laptop, Television, Lights, sensitive medical equipment and many more without any lines through screen or making noise or making hot when the equipment runs. This true sinewave inverter also prevents voltage up-downing while a sensitive equipment is running through it.

A modified sinewave inverter also uses 12 volt battery power and produces 240 volt electricity as a true sinewave inverter does but the produced electricity is not as pure and clean as a true sinewave inverter does. For this reason a modified sinewave inverter can be the best solution for everyday using electronic appliance such as micro oven, electric hitters, Iron machine, washing machine, air conditioner and much more. Those electric appliances are best for a modified sinewave inverter that faces no problem if the voltage up and down while it is playing.

The main difference between a true sinewave inverter and a modified sinewave inverter is the quality of produced electricity. A true sinewave inverter can produce pure and clean energy for electric equipments, but a modified sinewave inverter can’t. Also a there are some sensitive electric equipment that needs pure energy and so that a modified sinewave inverter can’t start those devices, but a pure sine wave inverter can. The appliance’s service life becomes extended if a true sinewave inverter can be used. But if you look at the cost, then you will definitely select a modified sinewave inverter as it is cheaper than a true sinewave inverter.

Actually a true sine wave inverter is costly but effective, so if you are limited to your budget, then I will recommend you that buy a small true sine wave inverter for sensitive electric appliances and a big modified sine wave inverter for other electric equipments. This will definitely solve your problem.
